Many of you wanted to see the system in action so I decided to shoot a short video tonight, its a bit choppy due to being shot at night with me holding my phone and driving but you get the idea. It also shows how to turn the system on and off.

and exactly how did you perform this customization?

I own a company that does one off custom software for GM vehicles.

Are you saying that the sensor is already installed in our cars? Is this something that needs to be done only at your location? What does it cost for this? Thank you, DADDY

Awesome! Please share the details as to how this can be done.... Are parts needed or is it just programming? How can those of us not in your area get this done? What's the cost? BTW, if this is just a software modification, really terrible on Cadillac's part for not enabling it in our cars...

GTPprix, would love to know if there are others that do this same type of work. A long way to come from SC!

GTPprix

04-29-13, 12:19 PM

No just me. If there is enough interest I could do a ship in service and program the part and ship it back. Assuming there was enough interest of course.

If it works, doesn't mess anything else up and doesn't violate the warranty, this might be very popular. The absence of Auto High Beam is bemoaned by many in this forum. To have this done, a part of the has to be shipped to you and then returned? Or, we would need to drive to MI?

If Cadillac puts out a software update, like they recently did, would it override the changes you programmed to the part?

GTPprix

04-30-13, 03:28 PM

Well the updates that have come out do not affect this module so I think we are in the clear there. This would require shipping a small module to me (thats pretty easy to remove!) and loss of your lane departure/collision avoidance during that period. I'm trying to find out about sponsorship but I havent been able to figure that out yet as everything I see just would show me as a supporting member?!? Theoretically this would work on the ATS as well pending testing.

RockvilleXTS

05-01-13, 09:21 AM

So, all the hardware is actually in the car, and it only needs the programming? Any idea why would GM not have included this from the launch of the XTS? I hope we are able to have this upgrade. I really miss this feature. Also hope someone else goes first . . . . :yup:

GTPprix

05-01-13, 09:49 AM

Correct. My guess is to have some new features to differentiate the 2014 this is very common for GM to do. I've been testing this in my car for over a month and it works great!! :)

How expensive are these modules? I was thinking about buying a new one, sending it to you, and then putting it in when you return it, if you decided to offer these reprogramming services. Then, if anything gets funky, I could always put the old one back in and not raise the eyebrows at the dealership. :-)

Not cheap unfortunately. The good news is its invisible to the dealership (assuming you turn it off LOL) as all the calibration data will match stock; not my first rodeo hehe :D

05-02-13, 11:42 PM

I definitely want to be counted in when this is available. Another question. (sorry!) On page 6-3 of the XTS Owner's Manual, it states: "This feature can be turned on or off or the sensitivity can be changed in vehicle personalization. See Vehicle Personalization on page 5‑44." Does your programming enable this selection in vehicle personalization?

PasqualeB

05-03-13, 12:54 AM

You said while the module is out of the vehicle, the loss of lane departure/collision avoidance, which is part of the Driver Awareness Grp, would be affected. Are their additional feature loss with an XTS equipped with the Driver Assist Package?

No, as far as I can tell that original calibration was for Euro/Middle east export vehicles that have a different system. Hence why you also see the rear fogs in the manual as well.

It's obviously only temporary HOWEVER this solution is only for the cars without the Driver Assist Package currently, if someone with that package wants to beta test with me thats perfectly fine i just dont have one here myself to test with.

05-03-13, 03:02 PM

Damn. I have the Driver Assist Package. I guess that leaves me out. What's involved with beta testing, especially from a distance?

GTPprix

05-03-13, 04:53 PM

Shipping in a module and testing it in your car. Very low risk just don't have a car here with it unfortunately :(

RockvilleXTS

05-04-13, 12:00 PM

I'd do it, as long as it's a separate module in case things don't work as expected. Then I can just swap the original back in.

FormerBenz

05-04-13, 10:42 PM

So, GTPprix, where is the module located? And, when will you start offering the service? Any reason you're not offering it yet? Really looking forward to shipping you my module :yup:

No reason; its available right now :) Problem is I cant figure out how to become a sponsor LOL It looks like you can pay to be a premium user (where I saw a reference to sponsorship) but no place there to sponsor. Anyhow the module is attached to the windshield just to the rigth of the center of the inside rear view mirror.

FormerBenz

05-09-13, 10:30 PM

GTPprix: I have the driver assist package and would be glad to send you my module for testing. Out of curiosity, why do you need to be a sponsor in order to provide a service? How much do you charge for the programming service? Once you program the module, will the menu options appear or does something in the car have to be programmed as well? Thanks!

Hi GTPprix, just wanted to be sure you saw my question.... Very anxious to have this done. Thank you.

See, I knew I was messing up by not keeping track of this forum! Would've saved me from having a little egg on my face! Oops.

So let me know if we can reprogram this 2013 XTS4 w/driver assist to have intellibeam, and how much you'd charge..

Thank you very much for the answer!!

And my apologies to you all (and to my customer who is most likely reading this thread as well) on behalf of Cadillac for this ridiculous turn if events.

Anybody got any guesses as to why in the world Cadillac would have made the decision to do this (put the option into the car and then disable it)? Is there maybe something flawed with the software or something?

So has anyone actually used the service mentioned here to program the module to activate intellibeam on the 2013 XTS. I am definitely interested but I have only seen one person claiming to have used this service. I would of thought there would be many XTS owners jumping at the opportunity to get this feature to work.

We've done quite a few of them although primarily for dealerships.

Are you saying that Cadillac dealerships hired you to program intellibeam on their 2013 XTS's? I called Cadillac customer care and they stated their is no fix for the intellibeam feature on the 2013 XTS

We have done them for dealerships where people bought 13's saw it in the manual and were pissed it didn't have it, in the name of customer satisfaction :)

Are you able to do these on the ATS? The P/N of the device behind my mirror is 22959663 and I have drivers assist.
